Build A Bird Punch #2

Punch-a-bunch!

Here a few more samples from the Punch Class that was held on November 17^th!  Each one was created by someone else and I am sorry to say I do not have names to share with you.  If you are one of them...THANKS!  If not, I hope you like them enough to C.A.S.E. them yourself!

I saw this card, well...one similar to it anyway, and fell in love.  I knew I had to add it to this month's punch class.  All the shapes are from the Build-a-bird punch...can you see them all?  The colors used are Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White, Lucky Limeade, and Calypso Coral.  I also used the Framed Tulips Embossing Folder.

A pretty wreath to send your friends for Christmas.  This one used Garden Green, Whisper White, and Pretty In Pink card stock as well as Pretty In Pink scalloped ribbon, the Top Note Die, the Petals A Plenty Embossing Folder, Basic Rhinestones, and More Merry Messages.

Come back again...next week I will be sharing all the samples from the November Stamp Of The Month Club.   

Don't forget a little spiritual inspiration every Sunday too!

Build A Bird Punch

Punch-a-bunch!

I think this one is SO CUTE!  I don't generally send St. Patty cards, but I think I might have to this year!  As you can see the bird is the mustache, but this card also uses these punches: 1 1/4" sq., Modern Label, Word Window, 3/4" & 1 3/4" circle, Scallop Circle.  Colors: Wild Wasabi, Very Vanilla, Garden Green, Whisper White, Cajun Craze, & So Saffron.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

I thought this one was a simple one, but it seemed to take everyone a bit of time.  It's made with Whisper White, Midnight Muse, Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black, and Tangerine Tango card stock.  I also used the Northern Flurries embossing folder and the sentiment is from Delightful Dozen.

Come back on Wednesday to see a few more ideas!

As a Christian, I choose not to work on Sunday.  Although my blog is scheduled and I am not actually creating this post today; I still have a strong belief that we all need to take a break for the Sabbath Day.  Each week my Sunday post will change from inspiring your creativity, to inspiring your spirit.  I hope you enjoy the messages presented here each week.

HI again

HI

It isn't negative!

Well, if you anything like me you'll understand this, if you're not, you may be missing out on some unexpected creative opportunities.  

On Wednesday, National Hello Day, I posted the original card I created that simply said 'HI' and I promised to show you what happened when I was cleaning up my table. I began to put things away like I do every time (OK, almost every time...mess on the desk is a normal thing for me).  I reached for the scrap of chipboard that I had run through the Big Shot to cut out the letters.  It was laying on top of a piece of yellow DSP.  Here's what I did with it....

The small paper flower in the bottom right corner is covering up where the scrap was torn.  This card is a lot simpler than the one I posted on Wednesday, but it does show that even our scraps have a great use!  

Until Next Time . . .  

HI

It's National Hello Day 
So . . .I am Just stopping by to say

HI

I can't remember if I had posted the card I am posting today, and tomorrow, however, if it is a repeat let me apologize.  And please remember my favorite thing to say is 'perfection is overrated' LOL

The card above uses faux stitching around the top square of DSP and around the circle behind the letters.  I used my fingers to slightly roll the scallops so they would have more dimension and I added the small pearl at each peak (see close up). There is a lot of sponging to created color on the circle and the flower.  The "HI" is cut from chipboard covered with Rich Razzleberry card stock.

I will be posting what happened when I went to clean up the scraps from this card on Friday.  I hope you'll come back to see it.

Until tomorrow….

Wreath Version Two

Here’s Mine!

I hope you like it!

As I promised last week, here is the version of my wreath.  It uses the jumbo craft sticks, Orchard Harvest Designer Series Paper (Holiday Catalog), Jumbo Basic Pearls, and Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

I love the way the way the texture looks on the leaves!  

Created using a variety of Embossing Folders &

the Big Shot, of course!

Until Next Time . . .

Clothes Pin Wreath

I LOVE THIS!

I don’t know who originally came up with it, but the sample below was made by one of my downline members, Tina Wink.

It's very cute isn't it? The colors are Halloween-ish, but I think it can carry over into the fall too.

Each clothes pin is covered with DSP (designer series paper) and clipped onto a piece of chipboard that has been cut into a ring.  Cutting the pieces takes a little time, but the impact of this fun wreath makes it all worth it!   The leaves have been textured before being added to the wreath.

Next Monday I will share with you the one I created using large Popsicle sticks.  

Until Next Time . . .
